The Novel Role of MIF in the Secretion of IL-25, IL-31, and IL-33 from PBMC of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune inflammatory joint disease with complex pathogenesis associated with cytokine dysregulation. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) plays a role in systemic inflammation and joint destruction in RA and could be associated with the secretion of other immune-modulatory cytokines such as IL-25, IL-31, and IL-33. For the above, our main aim was to evaluate the IL-25, IL-31, and IL-33 secretion from recombinant human MIF (rhMIF)-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of RA patients. The rhMIF and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plus rhMIF stimuli promote the secretion of IL-25, IL-31, and IL-33 (p < 0.05) from PBMC of RA patients. The study groups, the different stimuli, and the interaction between both showed a statistically significant effect on the secretion of IL-25 (p < 0.05) and IL-31 (p < 0.01). The study of the effect of the RA patient treatments and their interaction with the effect of stimuli did not show an interaction between them. In conclusion, our study generates new evidence for the role of MIF in the secretion of IL-25, IL-31, and IL-33 and its immunomodulatory effect on RA.     

异步轧制AZ31镁合金板材组织

对不同总变形量、道次压下量、轧制温度以及轧制路径等工艺条件下所制备的AZ31镁合金板材的组织进行研究。研究结果表明：异步轧制有利于板材的晶粒细化,其晶粒粒度约为8．9μm,明显小于常规轧制板材的13．2μm;当总变形量由40％增大到80％时,晶粒粒度从40μm左右减小到30μm左右,出现了较多的孪晶;当道次压下量由5％增加到20％时,晶粒粒度从40μm左右减小到10～20μm,孪晶数量也随之减少;当温度由350℃升高到400℃时,晶粒粒度由20μm左右下降到10μm,且大部分晶粒为等轴晶;轧制路径的改变,使板材中的显微组织和孪晶数量产生改变,C路径中的晶粒细小,粒度约为10μm,D路径中的孪晶数量最少。

一株益生芽孢菌株的分子鉴定及其药敏分析

从健康土鸡盲肠中筛选出具有益生潜力的菌株Y31,利用细菌16SrDNA通用引物对其16SrRNA进行PCR扩增,得到1460bp的片段,该PCR产物序列通过Blast软件在NCBI网站中进行同源性比较,通过Mega3.1软件绘制系统发育树;同时,选择兽医临床上常用的15种抗生素,对菌株Y31进行药敏试验。结果表明,菌株Y31的16SrRNA序列与枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis)的16SrRNA序列的相似性为99.6%,在系统发育树中,它们在同一分支,且遗传距离最短,确定菌株Y31为枯草芽孢杆菌;Y31菌株对氨苄西林、青霉素及诺氟沙星有很强的耐药性,对链霉素中度敏感,而对试验中的其它抗生素高度敏感。     

粗晶粒铸轧AZ31镁合金的高温拉伸性能

研究了具有较大晶粒尺寸铸轧态AZ31镁合金的高温拉伸性能。通过热处理获得晶粒尺寸d=27.8μm的板材,对不同试样,在温度分别为300,350,400,450℃恒温条件下,以10~(-3)s~(-1)和10~(-2)s~(-1)恒定拉伸速率对试样进行拉伸至失效实验。结果表明,粗晶粒AZ31镁合金在450℃和10~(-3)s~(-1)条件下达到最大的延伸率106.7%。拉伸试样断口形貌的分析表明,450℃时出现丝状物质是合金出现液态Zn的结果。少量的液相可以释放应力集中和协调此时的变形过程。与细晶粒铸轧态AZ31相比,在拉伸条件相同和晶粒尺寸不同的情况下,粗晶粒的塑形较低,其原因是晶界滑移在变形时所作贡献少。

On coderivatives and Lipschitzian properties of the dual pair in optimization

In this paper, we apply the concept of coderivative and other tools from the generalized differentiation theory for set-valued mappings to study the stability of the feasible sets of both the primal and the dual problem in infinite-dimensional linear optimization with infinitely many explicit constraints and an additional conic constraint. After providing some specific duality results for our dual pair, we study the Lipschitz-like property of both mappings and also give bounds for the associated Lipschitz moduli. The situation for the dual shows much more involved than the case of the primal problem.     

Semilinear evolution transmission problems across fractal layers

A semilinear parabolic transmission problem across either a fractal layer S$S$ or the corresponding prefractal layer _Sh$S_h$ is studied. Local existence, uniqueness and regularity results for the mild solution, in both cases, are established as well as a sufficient condition on the initial datum for global existence is given. The asymptotic behaviour of the solutions of the approximating problems is studied.
